March, 2009, With Brother, Father Joe, at the Mercy Centre that cares for orphaned and abandoned children and the community of Klongtoey, in Bangkok.
Klongtoey is one of the poorest, materially, in Bangkok. One of most materially poor communities I have ever seen globally.
Father Joe also is very close to the Buddhist Monks and the Buddhist community of Klongtoey. The Buddhist teachings and Thai culture is central to the Mercy Centre’s program. All the children are given a solid foundation in Buddhist Spiritual Teachings and Culture.
